Tips for Using the Microphone
| • | Proper microphone technique can make a big difference in the quality of your performance. Be sure to sing directly into the top of the microphone, not the sides. |
| • | If your voice is overpowering the microphone or the music, pull the mic a few inches away from your mouth and turn down the volume for the mic. (You get the idea.) |
| • | Some sound setups work better than others. If available, try other sound configurations, such as direct to television or using a home stereo system. |
